The Legend - Proton Wira - 4G92 Rebuild by Simon

Back to Year 2002 ~ My First car was Proton Wira 1.3GL.

I decided to buy this car because Proton Wira was made based on Mitsubishi Lancer Platform and plenty of modification can be done on this car .



Back to year 2004. First modification - Transplant 4G93T 1.8 GSR Engine to my car. Not much modification was done - just enjoy the stock standard 1.8 GSR which produced 181WHP dynoed that time.

At last the 4G93T Engine is blown due to overboost as my turbo actuator are faulty! After deep thinking and finally decided to do transplant to 4G63T - from Mitsubishi Evolution 2.

Modification list:
Garrett GT2835 Turbine
1.2mm Metal Gasket from Tomei
Re Map ECU with Ralliart Chip
Sard 800cc Injector
Walbro Fuelpump
Stock Internal

Pumping out 320WHP but too bad...engine blown when I tried to push it to the limit at 1.7 bar boost!! Am I crazy?!?!?!?!? (a bit la Simon - ED)



With a very tight budget and I must get my car running on the road again, I got no choice but
plug in 4G91 engine to make it running it again. I bought the 4G91 Floor Engine only At RM900, quite cheap back then.

After plugging in the 4G91 Engine, I'm using the Stock 4G93T Turbo ECU code - 5771 with stock GSR Airflow code 449 and stock GSR 390cc Injector. I have no choice but have to mix and match to get the engine started. That time the Fuel consumption is quite high as I'm using 4G93T GSR Turbo stuff on 4G91 N/A engine.



In 2006 I'm thinking out of the box, based on my experience in modifying cars, I came out with an idea - Bolt On Turbo (I think this idea was around a long time ago, sorry didn't want to offend our reader's intelligence - ED).

With all the parts taken off from my previous 4G93T GSR Engine, all the turbo parts was mod into the 4G91 engine.

Here is the modification list:

4G93T TD04L turbine
4G93T Turbo Exhaust Manifold
4G93T Engine Oil Pan
4G93T Cylinder Head



But the 4G93T piston unable to fit in as the original piston bore for 4G91 is 78.4MM and 4G93T piston are 81mm. It very dangerous to bore more than 2mm from the original block , so end up using the stock 4G91 Piston.

4G93T Piston compression ratio around 9:5.1 and 4G91 N/A - around 11:5.1 compression Ratio. Plus 4G91 N/A does'nt have oil squirter to cold the piston and damn!! I put 1.5mm metal gasket to prevent massive engine knocking and to lower the engine compression.

The Engine management system by Greddy E Manage Ultimate as piggy back ecu to control the fuel map and ignition timing. After the modification are done , the maximum boost is around 0.8Bar , and it can't go any higher, it will cause the engine blown again!!

Engine was tuned based on wide band on the road tuning but definitely its more powerful then 4G93 N/A engine but never powerful than 4G93T GSR. Sorry I don't have the dyno chart



Year 2007 - Planning to increase the power of the engine .......... after a careful planning, came out with 4G92 Mivec block interchange !!!


Reason why ???

4G92 Mivec block sharing the same piston size with 4G93T which is 81MM
4G92 Mivec block comes with oil squirter built in
4G92 Mivec con rod its shorter and stronger

This time Major modification going to start but still with tight budget, I told myself ... why people can built a powerful & responsive engine in oversea especially in Thailand but why I can't built it here in Malaysia ? ?

The piston - I modified in the Toyota Supercharger Forged Piston (Flat Type) Compression Ratio - 8:9.1

The Conrod - Ordered from RPW Australia - Billet Forged Con rod

Together with ARP Racing Stud

The Bearing - ACL Racing Bearing

1.8MM metal gasket fitted in from Mitsubishi special ordered from Japan with a help from my friend. This time I upgrade my turbine to TD05H 20G turbo custom built by Tong Turbo in Kuala Lumpur. Wastegated with Tial 38MM 1 bar spring.

Guess what ? I'm still using the stock standard turbo manifold. Engine head port polish done by Nasty Port Flow in Subang with CFM tested. Jun 4G93T Turbo High Profile Billet cam fitted in - 272 Degree 10.85mm lift for both Intake and Exhaust together with Custom made adjustable cam pulley.

Intake system using back the standard 4G93T intake manifold but ported to bigger flow. The throttle body -From 4G92 Mivec bored to 65MM.



This time Sard 800cc injector fitted in again with Walbro 255LPH in tank fuel pump. This time I'm using the Haltech E6x standalone ECU with external 3 bar map sensor ( well I'm not using the stock map sensor built in with the ecu ) and Toyota 1JZ Air Temp sensor modified to my Intake system and 2.5" Exhaust piping with R*SR Invidia muffler

After the engine running in for few weeks ..After setting and tuning .Massive 316 WHP boosted at 1.9Bar , The turbo boost control by Blitz Dual SBC Spec R. I'm pushing it to the limit at the dyno machine and can't believed it !!!!! as this just 1600cc Engine !!!!!

I'm confident that my engine can withstand the power as the modification done on the engine block!!!! But too bad, the car was stolen on 5 January 2009 at my house :(

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 7

The standard and modified Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 7

The Japanese made Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 7 was introduce in year 2001 based on CT9A Platform with 2.0L Turbocharged Engine (4G63) output at 276hp (205kw) on engine itself and torque was increased again to 284 ft·lbf (385 N·m. Come with 5 speed Manual and also marked the first time an automatic drive train was introduce within this model line up - GT-A

The original Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 7 was quite comfortable and stable ride. With 276HP on the engine, driving down the road in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia consider a quite powerful 4 door sedan car with a boot!!!



Original with full time 4wd with AYC system ,this car can take the corner like a roller coaster.

Here comes the 2 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 7 mod with modification and exceeded 480HP on the Engine

Before that , the owner of this car already push the stock turbine up to 1.7BAR of BOOST!! with Aftermarket ECU and Fuel pump . The owner still not satisfied with the performance and he hungry for more!!!







Now this car can consider as a Mild Modification without touching the original 4G63 Engine Block and its produce 480HP!!!

OK, Now we talk about the process of the modification ,

At first , we searching for turbo kit system , well this really a headache as we have to search a turbine that suitable for this 4G63 Engine. If the turbine is too big , it will cause turbo lag and if the turbine is small, its unable to push a high horsepower on the engine ~ DAMN!!!!





Finally we found HKS GT3037S turbo kit at N1 Racing Sunway and this was secondhand!! Well although it was Used item but the turbo kit really in a very good condition .....and come with HKS Exhaust Manifold system and 44mm wastegate

This HKS turbine design with AR60 Front Housing and rear housing Measure at 0.84mm can consider a big turbine mean for 450HP and up, this might cause turbo lag , In Hong Kong , same car model with the same turbine , they mod and dyno at 630HP!!! Are you sure?







This modification , we change the injector from 560cc to 800cc manufactured by SARD Japan and powered with SARD 265LPH In tank fuel pump with Walbro 255LPH External fuel pump

The engine head also powered with Tomei 270" Pro Cam with Brian Crower Oversize valve (1MM) and Titanum Retainer. The Engine Head was port polish to ensure a better flow system together with Tomei 1.5mm Metal Gasket to get a perfect compression for high boost without damage the engine






HKS Twin Power was added in for a better ignition system , HKS Spec R intercooler system and HKS Racing type 2 Blow off valve also not missed

Then engine block,throttle system , Intake system still remain original and still VIRGIN!!

The engine Management system - Apex'i Power FC L'JETRO

At JC Racing Asia - we send the car for dyno and tune by KIM one of my friend
we felt so nervous...wondering how's the car will perform??? can it really achieve high horse power as expected ?

The answer is YES!!!!!

End up with roughly around 550HP on engine and 426HP ON wheel
Boost at 1.5bar !!! with stock internal !!! that is magnificent!!!

I took the car for a run at one of the highway ~ well...this car perform very well..but turbo lag really irritating me otherwise it's really good to drive around

The respond from 4200RPM the turbo only kick in ~~ and full boost at 6300RPM~ means I have to pull at least 8000RPM to get power

ehh this is Alvin favourite car too~~~!!
